Clive Arms Public House

The Clive Arms is a boutique country inn, public house and restaurant set in a Georgian building in Bromfield, near Ludlow in South Shropshire, England. It is part of the Earl of Plymouth's Oakly Park Estate and is closely linked to the neighbouring Ludlow Farmshop, from which much of its produce is drawn. The building is a Grade II listed pub, reflecting its architectural and historic significance in the Shropshire countryside. The Clive Arms operates as both a place to stay and a place to dine. It offers 17 spacious en-suite rooms, a traditional bar serving local beer, and an extensive wine list of around 30 wines, more than 15 of which are available by the glass. Its kitchens are supplied by the estate's own farm and walled garden, as well as by local producers, and the menus are described as traditional British dishes with a modern twist, built around fresh, local and seasonal ingredients. The inn also provides facilities for private dining, corporate events and conferences, and offers free parking and electric car chargers. Hospitality at The Clive Arms extends beyond food and lodging. The inn promotes local activities such as walks, cycle rides, golf days and excursions around Ludlow and the surrounding countryside, and it hosts special dining events and experiences, including a recurring Steak Experience in partnership with its butcher from Ludlow Farmshop. It also offers award-winning sporting hospitality packages tied to meetings at Ludlow Racecourse. The Clive Arms has been recognised by several hospitality guides and review platforms. It holds OpenTable Diners Awards from 2021 through 2025 and has been listed in the Good Hotel Guide in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023. It is also recommended by the Good Pub Guide for its food and local Ludlow beers and ales. The inn is run by a team led by Daniel, according to its own 'Our Story' page. As a commercial entity, The Clive Arms functions as a hospitality brand under the Oakly Park Estate umbrella, combining accommodation, dining, events and local-produce retail links into a single country-inn offering aimed at visitors to the South Shropshire countryside.

The Clive Arms is a Grade II listed public house in Bromfield, Shropshire, England. Its historic building status reflects its architectural and heritage value within the South Shropshire countryside. The inn is part of the Earl of Plymouth's Oakly Park Estate, a landed estate that also includes the neighbouring Ludlow Farmshop, and this estate connection shapes both its supply chain and its identity as a country inn.

Its current operation combines 17 en-suite rooms with a bar serving local beer and an extensive wine list, alongside dining rooms and event spaces. The kitchen sources meat reared on the estate, fruit and vegetables from the estate's walled garden, and handmade cheeses, jams, pickles, chutneys and cakes from Ludlow Farmshop, positioning the inn within a local-produce ecosystem. The inn has built a reputation recognised by hospitality guides and review platforms. It received OpenTable Diners Awards in 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024 and 2025, and was listed in the Good Hotel Guide in 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
